There is no horizontal divergence of the bullet path/scope subtensions down range . The POA/POI offset just gets bigger as soon as it leaves the muzzle. If everything is level, the bullet path never leaves the horizontal plane. The only divergence will be in the vertical plane...…..there will be two divergent intersections vertically...…..none horizontally.
If your scope is not level on a level rifle yes the distance will increase. If your scope is level there will always be a point of intersection no matter how far down the reticle you go.
